Finally completed 2.5" dual exhaust

Some of yall might remember when I built my own true dual 2.5" exhaust at this thread https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/exha...-own-true.html

It was a 2.5" from the slp y-pipe section all the way back but the slp section was only 2.25". I finally got around to fabricating my own 2.5" section from the headers to the x-pipe. After a 3rd degree burn on my arm shaped like a bunny rabbit(pipe I was welding fell over onto my arm and the burn really does look like a rabbit) here is my attempt. I painted it all black with high temp ceramic paint.

Re: Finally completed 2.5" dual exhaust

I bought 10416 magnaflows after reading your original thread. Will be installing them this weekend as well as fabricating a true dual x or h pipe system and long tube headers. My long tubes will be back from ceramic coating tomorrow so I can get started on it.

Get it on the car yet?

Yes I mounted it on the car and it fits perfect. Exhaust rumble sounds a little deeper I noticed.

Thanks, just drove it to work yesterday and wasn't expecting much of a power difference. I noticed it pulls stronger in the top end WOT. What a difference that 1/4" made on the 383.
